Beaners

I'm getting ready to go across the street for the second night of the Sugar Bean Sisters. The audience last night enjoyed the play. I have been thinking for the past week that this is the kind of play that will really appeal to some and be just a little too odd for others. Alexis the box office manager asked me today if it was appropriate for children. I went on line and looked up the guides for television viewing. I believe the play should be Parental Guidance Suggested. People trying to kill each other and some of the language which can be a little crude at times is not something that young children should see. My ten year old daughter loved it, but then she has grown up watching strange stuff in the theatre. If you are looking for a evening of entertainment that is a little different than the standard fare. This might be just what you are looking for. However if you are looking for something more tame, this might not be it. A woman came to the box office today to renew her season tickets for next year told Alexis she didn't like the show last night-but she still loved the some of the performances and thought it was a good production. It just wasn't her kind of play. I sat behind a group from a Baptist church in Missouri and they left the theatre laughing and smiling.

It's not Shakespeare.... well maybe it is... it just happens to be set in the swamp with aliens, gators, snakes and all sorts of gobbly creatures.
